Lovely Assistant: A chosen card is lost in the deck. After many attempts, you're unable to locate the card so you ask your lovely assistant for help. She appears on the screen and reveals the chosen card, washing away any doubt of your powers!

Telecommunication: Why do all the work yourself? A random person from your phone's contact list finds the spectator's freely chosen card! The spectator makes the call, not you!

Card from iPhone: That's right, pull a chosen card right out of your phone!

Princess Card Trick: A classic, now better than ever and in your face on iPhone! The spectator just thinks of one of six cards. The iPhone goes to work and makes the spectator's card VANISH!

RevelationsShirt086a Revelations Shirt [Includes Instructional DVD][Jay Sankey]
$49.95
The Revelations Shirt looks just like a very cool black t-shirt with a few hip, understated designs, but hidden in the graphics of the shirt are SEVEN incredible revelations including three different selected cards, the date on a borrowed coin, a classic mathematical force, and even two different ESP symbols! Perfect for both magicians and mentalists, the Revelations Shirt is the ultimate secret weapon!

FOLD #1: A card is selected and the spectator shows it to her friends. (It's the Ace of Diamonds! Shhh!) The magician draws attention to the intricate pattern on his hip black t-shirt and mentions that the pattern is "a combination of a Rorschach inkblot and a crystal ball." The audience is skeptical, but the magician asks everyone to stare at the pattern and concentrate on the image of the selected card. "Do you see it on my shirt?" he asks. When everyone admits they don't, the magician offers to "make it a little easier to see" and with a single fold of the shirt the image of A SINGLE LARGE DIAMOND suddenly appears!

FOLD #2: Everyone is still freaking out over the appearance of the Ace of Diamonds shape when the magician suggests, "Let's try it again." This time someone only PEEKS at a card (it’s the Two of Hearts) and holds the pack in their own hands. Once again the performer asks the spectator to concentrate on the card they have in mind and focus on the front of the black t-shirt. And again, with just a single quick fold of the shirt TWO LARGE HEARTS appear!

Now everyone REALLY loses it!

THE TAG: A card is selected and the magician says, "If I don't find your card, I'll give you the shirt off my back, okay? Don't get too excited ladies. And just so you know, the shirt is 100% cotton, not polyester, so it's quite a prize." But when the magician executes a fancy flourish and turns over the top card, it's NOT the selected card. He tries again, but again fails to find the card the spectator has in mind. "Well, I DID say if I failed to find your card I'd give you the shirt off my back. And like I said, it's 100% cotton. Just take a look at the label." The performer rolls back the collar of the shirt and pulls out the tag and everyone sees a large image of the selected card PRINTED ON THE LABEL!

THE DATE: The date of a borrowed coin magically appears on the front of the shirt! Or you can have four cards selected and they turn out to be an Ace, a 9, an 8 and a 6…all perfectly matching the 1986 date ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT!

THE NUMBER PREDICTION: The wonder worker admits to having "some psychic abilities" and suggests a test. He asks a spectator to think of ANY 3-digit number and write it down on a business card or cocktail napkin. (And it really is a free choice!) The performer turns his back on the audience to make sure he can't 'get a peek' and instructs the spectator to carry out a few simple calculations with the freely selected number. When the spectator arrives at a final total everybody suddenly notices that the exact same number is PRINTED ON THE BACK OF THE MAGICIAN’S T-SHIRT!

ESP FORCE #1: Using a collection of ESP symbol cards printed on the back of the Revelations Shirt, Max Maven's classic 'Finger Chart Force' is taken to a whole NEW LEVEL OF AMAZEMENT! Watch the video preview to see this mind-bender in action!

ESP FORCE #2: Jay experimented for a long time trying to figure out a way to REPEAT the "Finger Chart Force" and arrive at a DIFFERENT symbol - and Jay figured it out! This repeat demonstration is the ultimate psychic convincer!

THE SHIRT: Inspired by the Diesel™ brand of hip, high-end casual clothing, each Revelations Shirt is manufactured from 100% pure ultra cotton and the graphics are printed with a "soft white" ink to give the shirt a hip, pre-washed and 'worn-in' look. And the intricate design on the front of the shirt features a very subtle combination of arrows, snakes, stars and hieroglyphics for a very cool design that is both universal and timeless.

Instead of being a cheap-looking shirt that shouts, "Look at me, I'm a dorky magician!" the Revelations Shirt is the kind of cool, goes-with-anything t-shirt that will fit right in with your own casual style. The Revelations Shirt is also the perfect way to show off your 'guns!'

ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOU: The Revelations Shirt is available only in Black [of course!] and in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large sizes. To make sure you have enough room to easily fold the front of the Revelations Shirt, please order a Size that is 1 size Larger than the Size you usually wear. For example, Jay is a small guy (5” 5’ and 155 lbs) and he usually wears a LARGE Revelations Shirt!

THE DVD: Along with the complete details on all 7 mind-blowing revelations, the full-length DVD also explores such questions as, "Is it better to reveal the hidden symbols slowly or quickly?" And, "With mathematical forces is it better to involve a calculator or just use pen and paper?"

Jay also shares a ton of subtle psychological pointers learned over countless performances with the Revelations Shirt in the real world.

The DVD also includes valuable information on:

5 COIN SWITCHES including the Bobo Switch, Thumb Palm Switch, Palm-to-Palm Switch, Shuttle Pass Switch and Jay's own "Perfect Coin Switch."

5 MULIPLE CARD FORCES including the Crimped Pack force, Vernon Substitute Transfer, Riffle Force, Henry Christ Force plus Jay's clever work on the classic Criss Cross Force that makes it even more deceptive!

11 SINGLE CARD FORCES including the Second Deal Force, Wichita Slip, Spread Force, Buckle Force, Double Lift Force, Topper Peek Force, Topper Pull-Out Force, Classic Force, Dribble Force, Mentalist's Equivoque and Jay's handling tips with half a Forcing pack.

The Revelations Shirt! Perform just one or two of the revelations and completely freak people out or perform several of them together and START YOUR OWN RELIGION!

Wear your act on your back!!! Whether you perform Magic, Mentalism or both, the Revelations Shirt is a perfect addition to your act! Comes complete with specially printed Shirt, Tag, and exciting instructional DVD featuring a powerful collection of Jay's favorite single and multiple card forces! Running Time: Approximately 80minutes!

secretlifeofhoudinilarge.jpg Secret Life of Houdini [Limited Edition - Signed by Authors William Kalush & Larry Sloman]
$37.95
The Secret Life Of Houdini is an intereting new book available in an exclusive Hardcover Limited Edition that is signed by both Authors - William Kalush and Larry Sloman.

Handcuff King. Escape Artist. International Superstar. Since his death eighty years ago, Harry Houdini's life has been chronicled in books, in film, and on television. Now, in this groundbreaking biography, renowned magic expert William Kalush and best-selling writer Larry Sloman team up to find the man behind the myth. Drawing from millions of pages of research, they describe in vivid detail the passions that drove Houdini to perform ever-more-dangerous feats, his secret life as a spy, and a pernicious plot to subvert his legacy.

After years of struggling on the dime museum circuit, Harry Houdini got a break that put him on the front page of a Chicago newspaper. He never looked back. Soon Houdini was performing for royalty, commanding vast sums, and exploring the new power of Hollywood to expand on his legend.

At a time when spy agencies frequently co-opted amateurs, Houdini went to London and developed a relationship with a man who would run MI-5. For the next several years, the world's most famous magician traveled to Germany and Russia and routinely reported his findings.

After World War I was successfully concluded, Houdini embarked on a battle of his own. He created a group of disguised field operatives to infiltrate the seamy world of fake spirit mediums. In doing so, Houdini triggered the wrath of fanatical Spiritualists, led by the esteemed British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Death threats became an everyday occurrence, but the group would pose an even greater danger to Houdini's legacy.

Rigorously researched, and as exciting as a good thriller, The Secret Life of Houdini traces the arc of the master magician's life from desperate poverty to worldwide legend, initiating the reader along the way into the arcane world of professional magic. In this remarkable book, Kalush and Sloman decode a life based on deception, providing an intimate and riveting portrayal of Houdini, the man and the legend.

Hardbound and Signed by Authors William Kalush and Larry Sloman. 592 Pages.

Note: In our opinion, although some of the information in this book is hard to believe, it should be read by every serious Houdini Collector.

Please Note: This is the book that caused the recent publicity regarding the Exhumation of Harry Houdini. Let His Legends Live, and Let Him Rest in Peace...

TravelingEgg077.jpg Traveling Egg [The Great Gorgonzola]
$34.95
The Traveling Egg by the Great Gorgonzola is a brand new version of the Classic Party Magic Effect! There have been some variations of this effect during the past 125 years (although not all of them have been commercially available). In Professor Hoffrnann's day the feke was covered with Bran. Confetti and Sawdust have also been used. Confetti seems to have been the most favored material since it is the most colorful!!! I don’t know about you, but I prefer Bran in my diet, and not in my Magic!!!

The Magician shows an Egg and vanishes it. They then show a Glass, and hand to out for examination. After the audience has been satisfied that the Glass is an ordinary one, the performer now shows a brown Paper Bag. The Magician advises the audience that there is some Confetti in the Bag. He thrusts the Glass into the Bag and brings it out heaping full Glass of Confetti. Magician levels off the Confetti at top of the Glass, thereby dropping the excess Confetti back into the Bag. During Magician’s subsequent patter, they scoop some Confetti out of the Glass and if they choose, tosses some of theConfetti up into the air! Magician then picks up a Silk Handkerchief and drapes it over the Glass. After pronouncing the magic words, or other suitable hocus-pocus, Magician whips the Silk from the Glass, and by slowly raising it into the air Magically Reveals that the Confetti has disappeared - the Vanished Egg having taken its place! The raw Egg may now be broken into the Glass and thus proved genuine!!! You can not afford to Travel to your next Birthday Party Show without the Traveling Egg!!! Best of all, NO expensive “GAS” purchases for the Traveling Egg!!! Now, if we can only get our cars to operate on Confetti!!!
